How I Defeated the Tolkien Estate, by Austin Gilkeson

As anyone who’s read the appendices to The Lord of the Rings knows, both it and The Hobbit are Tolkien’s translations from the so-called “Red Book of Westmarch,” an ancient manuscript written in Late Vulgar Adûni. How Tolkien came to possess the Red Book is a mystery, and the Tolkien Estate has never allowed other scholars access to it.

This is made of so much win – and made even funnier because apparently some people were confused whether it was true or not. 🙂
